BH COSMETICS DAY & NIGHT PALETTE EYE-LOOK

As i said a few blog post's back i received a couple of eye shadow palettes as gifts for Christmas and that i would more than likely do a first impression on them. Since Christmas i have been really playing around with the "BHcosmetics day & night" palette and i am really loving it, the colours are super pigmented and blend very easily without a lot of fall out (which is always a winner). The palette contains 60 different eye shadows from nudes and browns to bright neon colours, so basically it is a very versatile palette and you could pretty much create any look using it. After looking up the palette online it is also very affordable for the quantity and quality of product you get.
